Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, is a condition in which the arches of the feet are low or absent, causing the entire sole to make contact with the ground when standing. This can affect one or both feet and may be present from birth or develop over time due to factors like injury, aging, or prolonged stress on the feet. Flat feet can alter the alignment of the ankles and legs, potentially leading to discomfort, fatigue, or pain in the feet, knees, hips, or lower back. Addressing flat feet is important because the condition can contribute to biomechanical imbalances that affect overall mobility and joint health.
Flat feet can often be managed with supportive footwear, strengthening exercises, and activity modifications. 3D Custom Orthotics provide tailored arch support to improve alignment and reduce strain on the feet and ankles. In some cases, Digital X-rays (Digital XR) are used to evaluate the structure of the foot and rule out underlying joint or bone abnormalities. Severe or painful cases may require physical therapy or surgical intervention.
Yes, many people find relief with non-surgical approaches such as wearing orthotics, doing strengthening exercises, and avoiding activities that put excessive stress on the feet.
With consistent use of orthotics and exercises, many people notice improvement in comfort and function within several weeks to a few months.
Yes, avoid high-impact activities without proper support and steer clear of unsupportive footwear like flip-flops or high heels. Choose cushioned shoes with good arch support.
